Blended Wing-Body : Veridian One

Full Flight Dynamics Model coded in MATLAB (Not SIMULINK) and exported to Flightgear through "prerecorded flight" feature.

FDM is 6 DOF Capable, updates at 25Hz, and includes aircraft data from aerodynamics analysis. AKA - It flies like a real plane.

All of the PID loops are coded manually in MATLAB (post on video if you would like code examples or help) and they are as follows:

Yaw Control
Roll Control
Pitch Control + Rate of Climb control - The ROC loop returns an AOA to "aim" for, and the Pitch loop makes the elevator surfaces deflect to meet the AOA.

No flight surface animations, I know, but we're all on a limited amount of time.

Final version of this video will be released in about 2 weeks.

Thanks for watching!

excuse my disturbance, I making a model of X43A with simulink (for a university examination), I don't have joystick, I want create a single signal from my keyboard for change the attack angle, you are very expert, you know how to do it ? is difficult ?

thanks !

@ottanicubano88 I'm so sorry, as i fear your exam has passed already.

To answer your question, yes, it should be easy, depending on your OS. I know how to do it on linux OS, but not sure about windows or mac. Let me know!

How in the world did you get this aircraft to be stable? I'm currently working on getting our blended wing body design to be statically stable. We are flying in the transonic regime and have to use supercritical airfoils which have a huge nose down pitching moment. Pitching stability has proven to be VERY hard!
